Commenting on George Osborne's remarks about Gordon Brown at the Conservative party conference, Chief of Staff to Sir Menzies Campbell, Norman Lamb MP said:

"This may have been a casual off-the-cuff remark from George Osborne, but that doesn't stop it being offensive.

"Opposition politicians have reason enough to criticise the Chancellor without having to descend to these ill-informed comments.

"This won't do much to help the attempts to portray the Conservatives as a caring, sharing, modern party."
